Summary

Davenport A+ School is an elementary school located in Lenoir, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 446 students. The school is part of the Caldwell County Schools district, which is ranked 141 out of 242 districts in the state.

Academically, Davenport A+ School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 34.8% in 3rd grade reading to 66.2% in 5th grade math, compared to the district's 44.8% to 61.6% and the state's 46.7% to 64.1% in the same grade levels and subjects. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 886 and 1006 out of around 1,500 North Carolina elementary schools.

Davenport A+ School's student population is predominantly from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 99.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's proximity to several other elementary schools within the Caldwell County Schools district, such as Lower Creek Elementary, which generally perform better, presents both challenges and potential opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing.
